Overview

Commented day excursion in mini-van departing from Mende. Let yourself be driven to fully enjoy the landscapes. Breathe the pure air of the Aubrac plateau when arriving at the Col de Bonnecombe after having travelled the magnificent lake route. You can admire the Aubrac cattle which remain the basis of local economic activity. Then we will go to the Déroc waterfall, a highly important place in Aubrac. We will pass through Aveyron for lunch included, planned in one of the emblematic burons of Aubrac. It will be an authentic lunch with the traditional Aligot, an astonishing generous dish of potatoes with cheese, a culinary experience rich in tradition. In the village of Laguiole, popular for its traditional cutlery techniques, we will visit a workshop manufacturing the famous Laguiole knife. It might be time to buy your own Laguiole! We will return to Mende passing through grandiose landscapes.

Activity itinerary

Mende (Pass by)
Mende, on the Place du Foirail (coach stop), is our departure point. Starting from the Lot valley which we will follow for around 30 minutes, we will be struck by the difference in fauna, flora and landscapes with the Aubrac plateau where we will spend the day.
Col de Bonnecombe
  • 2h 30m
We leave the Lot valley to join the Aubrac Regional Natural Park. At the start of our excursion, we take the Aubrac lakes road which passes through the Bonnecombe pass, one of the most emblematic of the plateau. We will make a photo stop.
Cascade du Deroc
  • 1h 30m
A magical waterfall of around thirty metres, overlooking a small cave made of basalt organs. The Déroc waterfall is an emblematic place in Aubrac.
Buron de la Sistre
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
We arrive in Aveyron, the neighbouring department. In the aptly named village of Aubrac, we will stop for lunch in a buron, formerly a shepherd's shelter and incidentally a cheese dairy. Lunch will consist of the unmissable aligot and sausage (possibility of changing for a vegetarian dish, or for a piece of Aubrac meat - please let us know at the start of the excursion). We will reach Laguiole in around 20 minutes.
Laguiole
  • 4h 30m
The village of the most famous French knife! We will visit a cutlery to better see how this knife is made. Maybe it's time to buy your own Laguiole? Then you will have free time in the village to visit this small typical Aveyron village. It will take us about 1h30 on beautiful roads with great landscapes to return to Mende.
Mende (Pass by)
The return route is marked by other typical landscapes of the Aubrac plateau, with these fields demarcated by rows of stones, and the horizon as the only limit. After about 1 hour of driving, we will arrive in Mende.
